How does your garden grow?

The pumpkins are attempting to scale our wall and take over the neighborhood.

The carrots are, I assume, growing happily downward. The tomatoes and peppers, sadly, do not appear to have survived. But I think the melons–despite the pumpkins’ best efforts to monopolize that corner of the garden–are holding their own. We’ll see how they’re faring in a week or two.

Not to call the game early or anything, since there’s not much produce being produced just yet, but I’d say our hasty experiment is a success, wouldn’t you? Next year we’ll do a few things a little differently, though. Start the tomatoes indoors, for one. Expand, for another. Attempt better grass and weed control, for a third.
